LA4183 Printed circuit board Example of fin mounting Fin IC Usage Notes 1. If the IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum rating, even a slight variation in conditions may cause the maximum rating to be exceeded, thereby leading to a breakdown. Allow an ample margin of variation for supply voltage, etc. and use the IC in the range where the maximum rating is not exceeded. 2. Pin-to-pin short If the supply voltage is applied when the space between pins is shorted, a breakdown or deterioration may occur. When installing the IC on the board or applying the supply voltage, make sure that the space between pins is not shorted with solder, etc. 3. Load short If the IC is used with the load shorted for a long time, a breakdown or deterioration will occur. Be sure not to short the load. 4. When the IC is used in radios or radio cassette tape recorders, keep a good distance between IC and bar antenna. 5. When making the board, refer to the example of printed circuit pattern. No.887-7/12
